Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Social psychology
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Animal science, Veterinary medicine, Animal-assisted therapy, HUBzero and Beef cattle. His study in Animal science focuses on Weaning in particular. His Veterinary medicine research focuses on Breed and how it connects with Significant difference, General activity and Open field.

His Animal-assisted therapy studies intersect with other disciplines such as Limousin cattle, Heritability, Domestic sheep reproduction, Environmental health and Artificial insemination. His HUBzero research incorporates elements of Social group, Job satisfaction, Big Five personality traits, Animal Genetics and Social psychology. Many of his studies on Beef cattle apply to Test as well.

His most cited work include:

  • Assessing the human-animal relationship in farmed species: a critical review (402 citations)
  • Establishment of cattle-human relationships (121 citations)
  • Stockmanship and farm animal welfare (116 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Xavier Boivin focuses on Animal science, Animal-assisted therapy, HUBzero, Developmental psychology and Veterinary medicine. His study on Beef cattle and Weaning is often connected to Human animal bond, Minimal contact and Temperament as part of broader study in Animal science. His research in Beef cattle intersects with topics in Test and Sire.

His Animal-assisted therapy study results in a more complete grasp of Pet therapy. The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Audiology and Period. His studies deal with areas such as Breed, Significant difference and Palpation as well as Veterinary medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (44.44%)
  • Animal-assisted therapy (31.75%)
  • HUBzero (31.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Developmental psychology (20.63%)
  • Audiology (9.52%)
  • Animal science (44.44%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Xavier Boivin mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Audiology, Animal science, Beef cattle and Reactivity. His Developmental psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Period and Neuronal activation. His Audiology study combines topics in areas such as Facial expression, Pupil and Emotional expression.

His research in Animal science is mostly focused on Dairy cattle. His Beef cattle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Test and Environmental health. Xavier Boivin integrates many fields in his works, including Heart rate variability, HUBzero, Physical separation, Social grooming, Physiological responses and Habituation.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Do lambs perceive regular human stroking as pleasant? Behavior and heart rate variability analyses. (43 citations)
  • Long-term exposure to unpredictable and uncontrollable aversive events alters fearfulness in sheep. (37 citations)
  • Human–lamb bonding: Oxytocin, cortisol and behavioural responses of lambs to human contacts and social separation (28 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of investigation include Cortisol level, Artificial feeding, Oxytocin, Social isolation and Prolactin. His Cortisol level study incorporates themes from Hydrocortisone, Leukocyte Counts, Novelty, Chronic stress and Physiology. Combining a variety of fields, including Artificial feeding, Internal medicine and Endocrinology, are what the author presents in his essays.
